The news will come out of a live kick-off event held at Midtown Comics in New York City where Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort will be making a presentation for the fans and press in attendance. Given that the press release promised that the news will "shake the very foundations of the Marvel Universe as you know it," we are expecting some pretty big reveals today. Or maybe it's just the debut of an Uncanny Howard the Duck comic. The event will be live-streamed on Marvel's site.

Check back on IGN later today for all the Secret Wars details as they emerge. In the meantime, what do you think it could be? Let us know in the comments.
